Item 1.    Security and Issuer

The Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 2, 2007 (the “Initial Statement”), by the reporting persons with respect to the Class A Subordinated Voting Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Voting Stock”), of Magna Entertainment Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”) is hereby amended to furnish the additional information set forth herein.  All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Initial Statement.

Item 4.    Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Initial Statement is hereby amended to read as follows:

The Reporting Parties originally acquired the Voting Stock solely for investment purposes in the ordinary course of business, and not with a view towards influencing any extraordinary corporate transaction, any change in the Issuer’s board of directors or management, or any other change in the Issuer’s business, corporate structure or capitalization.

This filing is being made because, on June 20, 2007, the Reporting Parties contacted the Issuer’s Executive Chairmen requesting that the Issuer add an additional seat to its board of directors and name a director to that seat who would increase the board’s independence and reflect the interests of the Issuer’s U.S. stockholders.  Since sending the letter, the Reporting Parties have had additional communications with the Issuer’s management with respect to that request.  The Reporting Parties anticipate that, from time to time, they may further communicate with the Issuer and/or other relevant parties regarding board composition or other matters involving the Issuer.

Other than as set forth herein, neither of the Reporting Parties has any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions or transactions enumerated in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  The Reporting Parties will amend this Schedule 13D as events unfold.
